Talking to some Thai ladies today. Thai people are not very open about their feelings about Thai politics with farangs. They all regard her as a heroic figure and are glad that she is "safe"

It just goes to show how divided Thai society is because I know a few Thai ladies, and 4 of them I know really well. Of those, two are 100% pro Thaksin, the other two are the exact opposite and believe the two Taksins should be locked up or never be allowed to return. Of these two ladies, one despises the currently leadership just as much as she despises the Taksin family. As is to be expected, the two pro Thaksin women are from Isaan, while the two anti Thaksin women are from Hua Hin and from Hat Yai.

Don't try to impress me with your manner of dress cos a monkey himself is a monkey no less - cold fact

Even Isaan people are divided. My wife is anti Thaksin and Yingluck but her mother and village people are pro.
I am also anti, but the only positive thing Thaksin did, he gave to northern people and all those farmers their dignity, now they know that they have not to bow to this oligarchy.

I agree with that, but bunging money at them every year is not the same as helping agricultural reform. When will that come and how, farmers can't change anything by themselves.
